Plot: Black screen, only black screen. But not for long, with the sound of shrieking in the background the black slowly spin into a kaleidoscopic colourful room that still spinning.

Flashes of montages of riot, war, violence starts to come out one by one, at the beginning it was from just a small portion of the screen but it slowly gets bigger and the transition between the montages are getting faster and faster.

The montage stops on a picture of a baby getting stabbed with a bayonet. The picture getting smaller and smaller until it dissapear leaving us back to the kaleidoscopic room.

A man (Karl Glusman) appears in the middle of the room, we dont know whether he is clothed or naked, his body is coloured like the kaleidoscope room.

He walks but his position doesn't move, but the kaleidoscope colour around bim are collapsing one after another that it only left the red colour on the upper left side of the screen. He stops his walk and look at the red colour, he tilts his hand and then turn his face to the camera, he smiles, a creepy smile.

From his mouth blood is dripping slowly, it drips faster and faster that he coughed out a knife out of his mouth, he takes the knife and throw it to the left side of the screen right to the red colour until falls to the ground, he pick it up and smashed it to the ground.

The man starts levitating and turned upside down. under or above his turned-upside-down-position merged another him, he look up and see each other then smile, then laugh.

The run to catch each other and create twisting circle among themself. Jump cuts, to the man being bound by a big chain in his head, the man sits and acts like a dog and bark at someone whose head is cut by the upperside of the screen.

They point at the man and he is cowering just like a dog, then from out of nowhere, another the man is materialized out of thin air and attack the person offscreen. The first man smile and move in circle showing his delight when the other man came back, the first man like other man's face but it angers the other man making him stand and immediately abusing the first man.

In between the abuse, the other man say with ominous voice, "Be in hell" For exactly a hundred time with some jump cuts showing how the other man physically abuse the first man. After a hundred time the other man forcefully pulls the chain out of the first man head tearing out his back of the head and taking his brain out.

The first man is still alive and and stand despite missing a brain, he only smiles while blood dripping from his nose,eyes, and ears. The other man told him to walk and he obeys, after walking 3 steps limping, the other man break his leg by crushing his knees.

The first man whisper, "Hero" For a couple of time. The camera zoom in to his beaten face and start spinning counter clockwise, the event is rewinding to the first moment and then black out.

"Esse Est Percipi" Is written on the screen, the words expand into a colourful fractal trip for an hour of screen time. At the of the fractal trip, the man appear again, levitating with ropes around his neck, chocking him hard but he still opens his eyes and smile to the camera.
